EDITORIAL PAGES.
VVe are glad to present in this issue the article by Eugene Bell
describing “ The Union of Presbyterians and One General Assembly in
Korea.” The most hopeful feature of this development will be seen to
have been its vital growth, —
“ Silently as the Springtime her crown of verdure weaves,
And all the trees on all the hills put forth their thousand leaves.”
This also is the prophesy of its persistence and waxing strength.
The closing notes of this article which suggest enlarged Church Union
which shall embrace all the evangelical Missions in Korea, are notes
accordant with the bells of Heaven. The writer declares the only pos-
sible excuse for not having such union to be a lack of unity. But if this
unity is lacking, is not such lack a grievious sin, and if so, who is the
sinner ? Is it the Methodist, the Anglican or the Presbyterian ; or are
they all under condemnation ? Is someone waiting to be wooed by
another to that other, — the Methodist by and to the Presbyterian or vice
versa ? What a vain and shortsighted conception ! Truly, “ My
thoughts are not as your thoughts, neither are my ways your ways, saith
the Lord, for as the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways
higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts,” for the
Holy Spirit has long been wooing each to the Christ “ Whose head is
wet with dew and his locks with the drops of the night,” as he waits out-
side for a response to His repeated knocking. If only we will hearken,
open and come close to Him we then must come as close to one another
as possible (His possible) which is as close as the members of our living
body are to each other. Yes, even closer still than that, “ As Thou
Father art in Me and I in Thee that they also may be one in us, that the
world may believe that Thou has sent Me.”
“ Oh for a man to arise in me.
That the man that is might cease to be ! ”
Suppose we change this a bit and say.
Oh for a Christ to arise in me.
That the Christ that is might cease to be !
A Christ who through me “ might set free in the world the power of
I God.” When at the tomb of I^azarus Jesus cried ” Come forth ! ” he
j that had been dead began to breathe, perhaps to struggle and tumble
about in the effort to get loose from grave bonds. Then the Savior said.
148
THE KOREA MISSION FIELD.
“ Loose him and let him go ! So our Christ to-day is alive. We feel it
to be true. We are almost sure that Easter is more than a history or a
hope. We do feel confident that there is in it a Christ Who, though
far away, is nevertheless alive ! But tell me, is not the Christ
of to-day, tho alive, nevertheless bound about with grave bonds ? Why
not loose Him and let Him go " and so “ set free in the world the power
of God,” the power that raised Jesus from the dead? Quit being Chris-
tians so like the world as to be intelligible and measurable by the world
and so despicable in its eyes ! A true Christian has been well defined as
“ A unique individual. He is a supernatural being. He is inexplicable !
If he could be explained he would not be a Christian.” Spirits in this
mundane sphere need bodies through which to work. For the home of
the Eternal Spirit of Christ, has been appointed the Church, For His
body’s sake which is the Church ” “ that the world may know that Thou
hast sent Me.”
The Church Militant, — Old Testament Christians.
VIII.
Christians may be divided into three classes the nominal, the New
Testament and the Old Testament Christian. The nominal Christian is
one who happens to be a citizen of a so-called Christian country, which
citizenship, so far from releasing him from thralldom to “ the world, the
flesh and the Devil ” may accentuate it, by opening to him manifold
doors of opportunity, through equipment with the munitions of civilization,
which make possible his becoming fourfold more wicked than otherwise
were possible ! The New Testament Christian is he who has been “ born
from above ” by ‘Hhe washing of regeneration and the renewing of the
Holy Ghost,” whereby he views the world of men and of things from
the standpoint of Jesus, the Christ, Whom he joyfully accepts as his Savior
and King. An Old Testament Christian, like a child, is immature and
undeveloped ; he deals with shadows and symbols ; the promises he
greets from afar as prophetic of peace, good-will and brotherhood totally
unsuited to this present world in which he now dwells, but possibly to be
realized in a “ sweet by and by.” In a word. The Old Testament Chris-
tian to-day is like those Jews who rejected Christ because He proclaimed
a kingdom consisting “ not of meat and drink but of righteousness and
true holiness,” whose nobles consist of those who are last of all because
servants of all and so likest the Clirist Who was among men, preeminent-
ly, as one who served !
The most shocking feature of the gigantic war now waging is that a
majority of the twelve millions of men who confront each other on the
battle-lines of I^'urope have been baptized into the blessed name of the
Prince of Peace and so were pledged to love all Christians well enough,
mutually, to die for one another, in the stead of which they have closed
in a death grapple for mutual destruction. Not only so but each claims
God’s assistance against the other on the ground that he is instinctively

defending himself against the murderous machinations of his fellow Chris-
tian ! This “ confusion worse confounded " seems explicable ; on the
basis that the present day warriors of Europe, if Christians at all, are
Old Testament Christians.
Theirs is the Old Testament ^ conception of God. The Lord of
Hosts, a God of war who ordereth the battle and fights upon the side of
His chosen people against all other nations and giveth them the victory,
too, so long as they obey his orders. This is the crude, dim, alphabetical
conception of God of the most ancient part of the Old Testament, which
matured and ripened through the centuries until God Himself became
incarnate in “ His Son by whom also He made the worlds," and who
was called “The Word of God." Christ declared that God is “Our
Father," that God is Love, and added, “ He that hath seen Me hath
seen the Father." Hence any conception of God which is different from
Christ and from His teaching is unwarranted by Scripture. The Euro-
pean contestants, we are told, do not pray to “ Our Father " God nor to
the Lord Jesus Christ, and in this they are perfectly consistent.
We are told that our society, business, politics and our civilization
need to be Christianized, which is indeed true, but these things can be
accomplished only as our religion is Christianized. Then all things will
be made new including God and country ; for the Old Testament concep-
tion of God will be replaced by Christ’s conception, “ Our Father," and
instead of being national patriots we will become international, as was the
Christ, and thus war will cease and permanent peace will be ushered in.
Dr. John Henry Jowett, of New York, but lately of England, writes so
strongly and luminously on these points that we quote him gladly.
“ First we must Christianize our conception of God. * He that hath seen
Me hath seen the Father.’ Our conception of God must begin and end in
Christ our Lord. Our conception must not be B C. or A.D. but C.
What shall we think about God? Just what Jesus Christ reveals. Late-
ly we have been using the word “ God " without its Christian content.
We have been going back to the Old Testament for our conception of
God, and even back to the early records of the Old Testament back
to the twilight of revelation, back to the God revealed in the world’s
childhood before the fuller word had yet been spoken.
We have been opprest by the way the name of God has been used
in the course of the present war. But what has been the value of the
name ? By no chance have I seen Him called “ the Father " in the
invocations of kings or Kaiser. By no chance have I seen him addrest
as Christ. No, it is the name of “ God ’’ robbed and emptied of its
Christ significance. It is God, minus Christ.
The Old Testament is the wonderful record of the slow education of
a particular people. The revelation begins in the dawn, in the mist and
dull haze of passing night, and the day brightens and broadens until the
full sun rises in Christ our Lord. Here is one of the things of the early
twilight. “ Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, foot for foot burning for burning,
wound for wound, stripe for stripe." That is where we are to-day ; but
that is not one of the things revealed to us in Christ. Listen to our
THL KOREA MISSION FIELD.
150
Lord : “ But I say unto you, love your enemies.” We have gone back
to the twilight for standards for the noon. ,
This is one of the most deadly practical heresies of our time. We
have un-Christianized the name of God, and the first and paramount neces-
sity, if we are ever to establish a lasting peace, is to restore that name to
its Christian value. When we use the word “ God ” it must be Jesus
whom we see. “ He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father.” We shall
never have pe^ce until the God we worship, and to whom we offer our
prayer, is the Lord and Father of us all, revealed to us in the word and
life and death of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Another conception which needs to be Christianized, if an abiding
peace is to make her home among the children of men, is our conception of
nationality. Here again we can choose to live in the dim, hazy twilight,
or in the fuller noon. We can choose to live in the early Old 'Testament
with Moses and Joshua, or in the New Testament with Jesus Christ. We
can do our thinking about nationality among the primitive standards, or
we can go into the high school of Christ.
Now where shall we get our thought moulds of race and nationality?
Shall we get them from Samson or from Christ ? It is my deep convic-
tion that much of our evil practises have arisen from our un-Christian
thinking about these things. We have wiped out the Christian revelations
and standards. We have ignored Christ, and we pursue our thinking as
tho He had never been. The consequence is, our conception of nation-
ality is too often tribal and exclusive. That is Old Testament thinking.
It is not the Christianized thought of the New.
Turn to the Christian revelation.
“ Ye are all the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ.* * *
There is neither Jew nor Greek.”
“ There is no difference between the Jew and the Greek, for the same
Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.”
“ Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, Barbarian nor Scythian.”
How vast is the contrast between this conception and the one which
I have just named ! But does the Christ-conception wipe out the element
of nationality and disregard it ? By no means. It disregards nationality
as an ultimate, it honors nationality as a mediate ; it magnifies nationality
as a means ; it rejects nationality as an end. Christianity conceives
national differences as the intended ministers of a richer union. Nation-
ality is not an orchestra, it is only an instrument. Nationality is not a
complete picture, it is only a tint in the making of a picture. In Christian
teaching, endowments are specialized for the sake of a larger and general
service. The nation is the servant of the race.”

THE UNION OF PRESBYTERIANS AND ONE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN KOREA.
There are now, and have been for years, four Presbyterian Missions
at work in Korea. They are the Australian, Canadian, and Northern,
and Southern of the United States.
From the time there were just two it was felt to be both necessary
and desirable that they should be in the closest possible relation with each
other. With this in view, as early as 1889 a Presbyterian Council was
formed. To this Council was to be referred everything pertaining to the
common interests of all the Presbyterian Missions, especially whatever
concerned the organization of but one Presbyterian church in Korea.
This Council has continued up to the present time, and tho it has only
advisory powers, there has never yet arrived a time when its advice and
decisions have been ignored by any of the bodies composing its member-
ship.
At first it had to do with the locationTn different parts of the country
of the various Presbyterian Missions as they arrived and began work.
The Northern Presbyterians were already established in Seoul, Pyeng
Yang and the northwestern part of the country. On the recommenda-
tion of this Council, the Australians took the southeast ; the Southern
Presbyterians took the southwest and the Canadians took the northeast.
With reference to church government, each Mission or missionary
might have claimed the powers of foreign evangelists with authority to
examine candidates, baptize, and administer discipline. But all these
powers were voluntarily surrendered to the central body. This Council,
in the days when there were no native elders to sit with them, appointed
committees for different sections of the country, consisting of three or
more of their own number, clothed with sessional powers to examine
applicants for church membership, administer discipline and organize
churches. These were called sessional committees. The central body
being the full session or Presbytery. This body from the year 1901 ^
organized and conducted a Union Theological Seminary at Preng Yang.
Later when there were a number of elders and seven graduates from the
five year Seminary course were ordained to the Gospel ministry, one
native Presbytery was organized for the whole country. The respective
church authorities in the home lands having given their consent, the or-
dained missionaries became full members of this native church court
while retaining their membership in the Presbyteries at home. As had
been done in the Council, Commissions of Presbytery were appointed for
different parts of the country, and clothed with Presbyterial authority
ad hiterim. When the Central Presbytery grew to be very large, it was
organized into one General Assembly for the whole country and the
Commissions of Presbytery were organized into seven Presbyteries, that
continue till to-day.

ty from these native church courts. His records of examinations, disci-

pline, and ordination of elders and deacons must all Be submitted to Pres*
bytery and from any of his decisions appeal can be taken to the higher
church courts in the regular way. From the organization of the first
Presbytery the native brethren have always been in the majority. It is
cause for the greatest thanksgiving that, under the blessing of God, the
church has been organized in unity and harmony without friction. In
the Council a divided vote has never been along Mission lines. In the
native courts a divided vote has never been along racial lines. A spirit
of harmony and unity has prevailed throughout. The Korean brethren
have deferred to their fathers in the faith in the most beautiful spirit. F*or
the first three years, they insisted on having a foreign missionary for
moderator of the General Assembly. And finally, it was only after a
missionary declined the election, that they could be induced to put in one of
their own number. This too in spite of the fact that he was well qualified
and made an excellent presiding officer. There has never been friction
between one Mission and another. There has never been friction between
the native and foreign brethren, and we praise God for one united har-
monious Presbyterian church for all of Korea, with one General Assem-
bly having 132 ordained native ministers, with 224 organized, and 1850
unorganized churches ; 332 elders with a total baptized membership of
61370. Associated with these are 93 ordained foreign missionaries of
the four Missions named above.
We are organized on the fundamental and historic doctrines of the
Presbyterian and Reformed faith. We believe in union most heartily.
It would seem to be a crime to have done otherwise than has been done
in Korea in having just one Presbyterian Church for the whole country.
We are in hearty sympathy with and an advocate of Union, and would
most heartily unite even with other Protestant Evangelical churches if the
way were opened. We rejoice in the union we have. We will support
it without reserve. But there can be no organic union where there is not
unity first. The sin of Schism is needless and sinful separation from Chris-
tian brethren of true faith and unquestioned piety. But if it ever comes to
the time in Korea when any church court will do as some church courts
have done at home, and insist on ordaining to the ministry men who
question the divinity of Christ, the Virgin Birth, Vicarious atonement and
the resurrection, there will be division and there should be division.

BISHOP HARRIS..
The other day Brother Morris remarked that Bishop Harris must
stand as the representative of Christianity to a great many Japanese,
especially those in high positions. I replied that in my judgment, no
man living, either Japanese or foreigner, represented Jesus Christ to a
greater number of influential Japanese, than Bishop Harris. They know
him and love him for the noble Christian gentleman that he is.
As he had announced some time ago that he expects to resign his

makes them most vivid. I do not remember a better village scene than
the one called “ Colportage and Cooperage " on page 16.
' The report of colportage on the 6nal pages ought to be carefully
looked over by every missionary. When 33 men in various parts of the
country have each sold over 5,000 portions of the Bible in the past year,
and one has passed the 8,000 mark, why are so many hanging around
the 2,000 point ? That is a question that needs to be answered, and I
know one col porter in my charge who will have to do some diligent
explaining.
The totals for the year are better in every way than ever before.
809,000 portions sold means that one person in every 20 in the whole
country received a copy of some part of the Bible. A few years of that
will put God’s word into literally every house in this country. I wonder
if that can be said to-day of some of our home countries ? I should hate
to be asked the question.
If space permitted, I could quote any number of striking incidents,
but my purpose is to get people to read this excellent Report for them-
selves, So I will pass on only this one sentence ; “ The one thing that
struck me, a new-comer in Korea, was the well-thumbed appearance of
the Bible in Christian homes.” To get the Bible into the hands of unbeliev-
ers, who feel that if they are to get their money’s worth they must
read the strange book they have just bought, and to supply Christian
homes in all the far-off nooks of this mountainous land with the one book
that they really care to read, this is a work that the angels might covet,
and in which any servant of the Lord can be glad to have a share.
Sincerely,
E. U. Koons.

NOTES AND PERSONALS.
^ Mr. George A. Gregg, who left Seoul for furfo in America, early in January, has
reported from 164 Cumberland St, Toronto, Canada, his native city, his safe arrival
at that place. Mr. Gregg avers that he still remembers and loves his Seoul friends
and trusts they will reciprocate, etc. However, he assured us that his further re-
marks were not for publication.
Mrs. W. E. Smith, of Pyeng Yang, and her two daughters, sailed from Yoko-
hama for the United States on the 25th of March, especially for the benefit of the
health of the elder of the children. The father, with the son, may follow later.
Dr. and Mrs. T. H. Daniel and their six children, late of_Chunjii, established
themselves as members of the missionary community of Seoul, early in April. Dr.
Daniel has been appointed by his Mission, Pres. So. to serve for fifteen months on
the staff of the Severance Hospital in Seoul, when they will take their regular furlo,
after which it is hoped and expected that they will return to Seoul and that the
connection with the hospital will become permanent.
Dr. and Mrs. R. Grierson, during April, enjoyed a family reunion wdth their
daughters during the Spring vacation of the School at Pyeng Yang, with which the
girls are connected as pupils, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Miller, in Seoul,
greatly to the pleasure, also, of the Seoul foreign community.
Mr. Yun Chiho has been elected General Secretary of the Korean Y.M.C.A.,
Mr. F. M. Brockman, who has hitherto been discharging the duty now devolving on
Mr. Yun, will become Honorary General Secretary. It is said to have been agreed
between the Korean and Japanese Associations that they shall each appoint three
honorary members on their boards of directors.
The new building, including gymnasium, at the Y.M.C.A. has just been complet-
ed and a special department for the boys inaugurated under the competent leader-
ship of Mr. Barnhard, who has recently arrived from the United States and taken
charge of the same, which arrangement which will largely contribute to the efficien-
cy of the institution on all of which we felicitate the management.
This new building was dedicated May 6th, 1916.
Samuel Dunlop Crothers was born into the home of Rev. and Mrs. J. Y.
Crothers, in Andong, April 15, 1916.
The steamer on which Rev. C. N. Weems and family were booked to leave for
furlo in the United States June 29th, struck a rock, and was disabled so that their
departure will be delayed until July i8th.
Rev. and Mrs. D. M. Lyall, of Masampo, recently left Korea for Australia, on
regular furlo.
Dr. and Mrs. Wm. M. Baird left Severance Hospital for their home in Pyeng
Yang, in April. Mrs. Baird is reported as greatly improved in health.
